dragonbone-san, after your comment about waiters should i even consider the device...

the flepia does look good. But after seeing the demo video(flepia-iliads in fujiya restaurant), i will choose to wait. Also i think its a little too costly.
I could get a very decent laptop at that price. I guess a Dell XPS 13' one is available for something around 90K yens..
However i am also considering a new addition to Amazon..PRS-505S. This is still under preorder. It seems the German release version will be shipped to japan by amazon. I did a test shopping cart entry and found that the device will be shipped by 1st week of April.
Hey, i will be interested in a sell offer(in yen cash) for the PRS-700..
But i am still pining for an iliad (or iliad type..extensible and large screen but stable) device.
But wouldnt mind owning 2...from pauper to prince..
